InterVarsity: The British Parliamentary Debate

A battle of wits and words, InterVarsity is a British Parliamentary-style debate involving four teams: two government teams and two opposition teams. The government teams propose a motion, while the opposition teams oppose it. The debate focuses on persuasive argumentation, logical reasoning, and rhetorical skills. Judges evaluate the teams based on their content, style, and strategy. It encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and effective communication.

"Speech is power. Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
